Corns

• Also known as a heloma or hyperkeratosis, a corn is an area of thickened skin presenting with a root that forms due to repeated friction and pressure in a certain region of the foot
• As this pressure is concentrated at a focal point of the foot, the skin thickens with a root, resulting in excess pressure on nerves, perceived as pain
• Management of corns may include reduction of the thickened skin, use of padding to help deflect pressure away from this particular region, education on footwear choices, or using an orthotic device to further help in pressure reduction

There are several benefits to paying a visit to a chiropodist, also known as a foot specialist.

When it comes to your foot health and associated foot care, trust your feet in the hands of a friendly professional.
